evergreens peek
over the shoulders
of barren hardwoods.

PROMPT: Positive Example
I’m not sure I understand the question. I generally associate the feeling of love with positivity, but the wording suggests a contrast to the negative examples of feeling loved.
Also, not sure whether “where” is meant to refer to a part of the body, a city, a region, a country, a room of the house, etc.

Mobile Home [Common Meter]
Turtle exits its hiding place
beneath a rotten log.
Its shell snags on that old, dead wood
he drags the log along.
Does he know that he's double-shelled?
He seems so unaware.
When he breaks free, he gains no speed --
just crawls on like he don't care.

Stumped [Free Verse]
A stump in the forest
is like a gap in a
wedding party photo
where they photoshopped
out a renegade relative,
but forgot to erase
the person's loafers.
